Last Monday, Lionel Messi established himself for the eighth time in his 20-year career as the best player in the world after receiving the Ballon d'Or awarded by the prestigious France Football magazine. The man from Rosario had an incredible year, marked by winning the Qatar World Cup with the Albiceleste and winning Ligue 1 with PSG.
Lionel Messi was forceful about his future in the Culé team, to which he closed the doors as a professional player. When asked by the journalists present at the gala, the former FC Barcelona player said: "I could have returned to Barça, but it couldn't be. My first idea was always to return home, to be able to play in Barcelona again and retire there as a "I had always dreamed of. But it wasn't possible. So we made the decision to come to Miami."
Despite having been left out of the playoffs with Inter Miami and remaining inactive until February of next year, Lionel Messi also ruled out the possibility of playing on loan at his former club: "No, not at all," he said, regarding that query. . Furthermore, the Argentine attacker is very sure about his future and assured that he will not play on the European continent again: “Thank God I was lucky enough to have an extraordinary career, I won everything I dreamed of in Europe, where I played for many years. . Now that I have taken a step by coming to the United States, I don't think I will ever play in Europe again. I will miss playing the Champions League or LaLiga for the rest of my life, games with a special flavor. But I enjoyed it as much as I could, so I don't have any frustration.”
Despite having ruled out Europe as a destination as a professional player, Lionel Messi hinted at his plans once he hangs up his boots: "In principle we will live in Barcelona again. It is our home, where we have our routines, our friends, both for me woman as well as for my children and for me. But I have no idea what I will do. I haven't thought about it yet and I don't want to. I want to enjoy my last years as a footballer, doing what I have always liked since I was little. And when I hang up the boots, I'll find my new path. Coach? I don't think so.
